Find out in this report how the two IT Operations Analytics solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This solution is more applications reference architecture focused. Its benefit is that it specializes in that space."
"The most valuable feature is the way it handles data, from Layer 2 up to Layer 7. We can see everything that happens in the network."
"There are many valuable features in this product, but probably the biggest is the customization capability it has."
"The most valuable features are security detections, perimeter detection, dashboards, and alerts."
"Wire data analytics."
"Not only can you look at the protocol import level. It also has a live PCAP analysis."
"Splunk has machine learning which is a valuable feature."
"The completeness of the solution is what we like the most."
"The Splunk user community and forum are most valuable."
"I am satisfied with the support."
"Splunk's interface is user-friendly, and it has apps and add-ons for most applications. We can easily normalize the data to make it readable and understand the logs. We easily get all the field extractions and enrichment done by using the apps and add-ons. This helps us understand the application logs because the raw data is useless unless we extract some useful information from it. These add-ons make it so much easier."
"What I really like is that even if you have already collected the data, you can extract fields and can build searches."
"Splunk works based on parsing log files."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ability to transact in the cloud and its ability to onboard data easily with minimum connectors."
"I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data."
"Network visibility is something that needs to be improved."
"We'd like to see a local presence within the region in order to have seamless service whether it's the support, the implementation, or professional services."
"They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that."
"They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement."
"This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer."
"When you get into large amounts of data, Splunk can get pretty slow. This is the same on-premise or AWS, it doesn't matter. The way that they handle large data sets could be improved."
"Free-floating panels in the dashboards are like a glass table."
"Sometimes, there is latency in the logs."
"It needs integration with a configuration management solution."
"While Splunk offers SOAR as a separate product, integrating it into the next version of Splunk Enterprise Security as a unified solution would be beneficial."
"This is a costly solution."
"It can be tough to get a hold of somebody in technical support depending on the complexity of the issue."
"Splunk's implementation process for managing multiple indexes can be complex, especially when dealing with a large number of components."
